I'm thinking of a train class..

[Temple Meads]

Class 86?

Open floor if correct.

Correct.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
It falls to me again, it's really not hard to manage one of these you know, no need to check every 10 minutes, 2 or 3 updates a day is acceptable, and a lot better than constant open floors:roll:

Anyway...

1) We have seen service abroad.
2) We were built over a period of 9 years.

Class 66?

 

[Schnellzug]

Class 56!!

 

[Temple Meads]

Neither, although I can sure the see the thinking behind both.

 

[ainsworth74]

Class 59?

 

[Temple Meads]

Not the 59.

There's no examples on normal NR services, basically they/it only do railtours on the mainline.

 

[sprite]

If it wasn't for the 9 years build time I'd say Class 58.

 

[ole man]

Class 33?

 

[Schnellzug]

Class 20, then, I say , possibly.

 

[Temple Meads]

None of those.

1 example is main line certified.

 

[Schnellzug]

Oh no, i forgot Freightliner. No, do carry on.
This is a diesel or a nelectric we're talking about, is it? You're not throwing us a curve ball with a steam loco?

 

[Yew]

Deltic?

 

[Temple Meads]

Not a Deltic.

And yes Schnellzug, it's steam.

 

[Schnellzug]

ha! I'm going to say, then, 8F.

 

[Temple Meads]

ha! I'm going to say, then, 8F.

Which is correct!

 

[Schnellzug]

Ah, marvellous.
Well, I think I've thought of one, you'll be Excited to learn. Ok..

I or we are notable for several reasons, at least three come to mind for now.
We or they have always operated in a very specific area or region; and
we, they or it ar, or were, numerically related to another well known type.

Class 306?

 

[Schnellzug]

It's good but, as Roy Walker would say, it's not the right answer I'm afraid.

 

[Class172]

Class 303?

 

[gg1]

class 506?

 

[Schnellzug]

I'll give you a Clue, but then I'll have to go shortly: it's more recent than any of those. I shall look in again in the morning. Until then, do, please, have a nice evening.

507, very similar to the 508 and exclusively seen around Merseyside (and immediate areas outside).

 

[Class172]

Class 312?

 

[Schnellzug]

Good morning. A further Clue is, it's not, as seems to be the currently prevailing climate of opinion, an EMU.

 

[Class172]

Class 124?

 

[Schnellzug]

As Simon Cowell would say, "No."

 

[gg1]

class 159?

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 357?

 

[Schnellzug]

A further clue; it is no form of Multiple Unit.

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 50?
